Elon Musk to provide Wi-Fi to wildfire-stricken areas using Starlink, Cybertrucks
SUMMARY
Elon Musk plans to provide free internet to wildfire-affected areas in California using Tesla Cybertrucks and Starlink technology. The Cybertrucks, equipped with Starlink terminals, will act as mobile base stations in Los Angeles and Malibu, offering connectivity to areas without service. This initiative follows Musk's recent announcement to deliver free Starlink terminals to fire-stricken regions. Although deliveries of the Cybertruck will be delayed, Musk emphasized the importance of using them for this cause. Additionally, security personnel, snacks, and beverages will be included for affected people. Musk acknowledged the criticism from some Californians but maintained the project’s potential life-saving impact. The effort follows a broader conversation about using technology like satellites and drones to combat wildfires more effectively. Musk also criticized California's regulations, suggesting that they prevent actions that could prevent wildfires.
